Netscape sometimes adds a .do extension
to PDF files, which results in Netscape not knowing how to handle
the file.
- Symptoms
- When downloading a PDF Printed Report, Netscape 7.1 reports the
following problem:
Opening report.pdf.do - The file "report.pdf.do" of type text/pdf,
and Netscape does not know how to handle this file type.
- Resolution
- To workaround this problem, modify the Netscape preferences:
- In the Netscape Navigator go to Edit\Preference.
- In the Preferences dialog, click .
- In the New Type dialog, set the following values:
- MIME Type: text/pdf
- Description: IBM® Records Manager Report
PDF Type
- Extension: pdf
- In the When a file of this type area, select Save it
to Disk.
The next time a Printed Report is downloaded, the .do extension
is not included, and normal operations can be performed on the file.
